Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2

Zinc is an essential trace element involved in numerous biological processes, including antioxidant defense, immune modulation, and cellular signaling. Its role in cardiovascular health has been investigated primarily due to its impact on oxidative stress, inflammation, and endothelial function, all of which are implicated in the development and progression of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Scientific studies have demonstrated that zinc deficiency correlates with increased oxidative stress and inflammation, both of which are risk factors for atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular conditions. Some observational studies suggest that low serum zinc levels are associated with higher rates of CVD, and animal studies have shown that zinc supplementation can reduce atherosclerotic lesion formation. However, evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in humans is limited and somewhat inconsistent. While some RCTs indicate that zinc supplementation may improve lipid profiles or endothelial function, others have found no significant benefit in terms of clinical cardiovascular outcomes. Major medical guidelines do not currently recommend zinc supplementation specifically for the prevention or treatment of CVD, except in cases of confirmed deficiency. In summary, while the biological plausibility and some observational data support a potential role for zinc in cardiovascular health, robust clinical trial evidence is lacking. The use of zinc for CVD is therefore supported by limited scientific validation, but it is not yet established as an effective intervention for cardiovascular disease.
